fast-paced

3.5

Decently entertaining, though I found the ending unsatisfying. Like, sure,

it was Freddie all along and he's some kind of mastermind but idk, that just didn't work imo. It gave him too much credit. I suspected either him or Bram throughout, and then toward the end I also wondered about Felicity.

Heavily reminiscent of Gilmore Girls when Rory was dating what's-his-face and they all pulled pranks. Like that but murdery.

As far as YA horror goes this is a fine book. The storyline was pretty standard, the characters were run of the mill and the ending was easy to follow. But it was just so long. I feel like 100 pages could have been removed AT LEAST.
I've read better YA horror, but I would probably rec to someone who is just looking for something. 


Crying Score: none
